Jankovic hits out at Serena
« I never saw her do this when she's leading». Obviously, the Serb Jelena Jankovic didn't like the way Serena Williams managed some of her downtimes: « You know, every time she has a lead, she's running for the balls and she's hitting those big serves. For some reason, every time she starts losing, she starts serving slower or not running for certain balls», said the player who lost 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 in two hours of play against the American at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships in Istanbul. It must be said that in the third set, Serena hid under a towel and cried during a change of sides, lashed her mother and her coach and tried to disrupt her opponent by moving during the preparation of her service. A good family trick that didn't help Jankovic. « "She's the number one player in the world, and she plays so well. She deserves to be in this spot. But I think also when you play, winning or losing, you have to be up there and be a good sportsman», concluded Jankovic. Clearly, she’s not happy.

While she's not wearing much, the player portrays a rather atypical flight attendant. "He wanted me to appear in every scene, and at first, I was supposed to be a mermaid... I told him: 'you're crazy! I won't swim in the water, it's cold." (...) I’ve never been a waitress, so I was a little nervous, it was slippery," she has said during the WTA Championships in Istanbul. Too bad. For images, it starts from 2min05.

Serena sexy in Nike
When the world number one dresses up to go to a party during the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships in Istanbul, she doesn't wear a gorgeous designer dress, no, she goes in a Nike shirt. Perhaps it's also stipulated in her contract.

No ice-skating for Bartoli
We were waiting for Marion Bartoli on ice-skates. Well, it's not going to happen. While the French was supposed to feature in "Ice Show" on M6, she finally gave up. The young retiree explained it very easily: “It's with great regret that I'm forced to cancel my participation in Ice Show on M6 for physical reasons. My back pain (disc disease) reappeared during the first training sessions and made me realize that the sporting challenge was too ambitious for my current shape. I was looking forward to participate in this unique experience combining modernity, transcendence and emotion. (...) I will be watching M6 during the broadcast to follow the exploits of all the participants in Ice Show”. Too bad, it could have been funny.
Murray, it’s in the game
